Obesity: The World's Common Disease
Research assistant Mahmut Çalık, in his presentation titled 'Inactivity,' pointed out that physical inactivity is the leading cause of death in Europe, stating, 'Currently, many of us are inactive individuals. Developments in transportation and the increase in mobile phone use are driving us towards this. In fact, obesity is the world's common disease.
